Chapter 53: Teaching
The two sisters were about to get up and go back to rest, and in the flickering firelight, Jiashu noticed that the big pair of people were kneeling or bowing, and hurriedly said to Du Ruo: "Ling'er, Wang Ling'er, we forgot to give a gift to our relatives, hurry up and make up for it together." ”
"Oh, that's a lot of politeness." Ling'er replied apologetically.
"I'll count one, two, three, and we'll bow down and bow together." Bai Qingqing commanded.
"One, two, three, get on your knees." The sisters patted the dust off their hands and knelt reverently.
"Say whatever I say." Qingqing commanded.
"Dear grandma (parents), just now my sister (sister) and I don't know how to bow down, but we are now learning and selling, make up in time, don't be surprised, thank you (your affectionate kindness), who is careless, repay Sanchunhui. But we will try to repay the deep kindness, please accept this belated prostration. With that, the sisters got up, made a gesture, packed up their things, and walked back.
"Wow wow! Woo-" It turned out to be a couple of teenage kids crying.
"Uncle, why is your brother crying?" Kaki asked with concern.
"Childe, you don't know, these living treasures are too embarrassing and annoying, when worshipping, they are still playing and laughing, which is a sincere ancestor worship, I missed them, besides, three years old look big, they are more than three years old, do you say you should fight?" A man replied angrily.
"It's time to fight, little brother, when we sacrifice, we must be sincere, otherwise, the deceased relatives will be blamed on us, for example, in a dream to become a big bat, a big spider or a big python, it will frighten you." Katsuki preached softly to the children.
"Oh, thank you, brother, we understand, we must sacrifice sincerely in the future, and never make trouble again." The eldest son replied solemnly, the first time they heard someone call him that, and the sisters couldn't help laughing.
"My brothers appreciate your behavior of correcting your mistakes, and they will give you some delicious pastries." With that, the sisters grabbed all the pastries into their baskets, and the family thanked them one after another.
"Two sons, it's so late, where is your family?" Uncle asked.
"The adults are far away. We are sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes. ”
"Did you write about the inn today?"
"Oh no, it's not yet, what should I do?" Only then did Kaki suddenly come back to his senses.
"Two sons, my home is very spacious, if you don't dislike it, please go back with us and rest for one night, how about it? The three sons are very naughty, and it would be nice if you could teach them some etiquette. The man said earnestly.
"Well, if you go back, the store will definitely close for a long time, thank you, uncle."
Back in the city, it's close to the third watch, where is the inn?
The sisters took a hot bath and washed their bodies, closed the door in the uncle's room, and fell asleep.
No matter how loud the sound of the timekeeper was, it was not enough to wake up the sisters, and it was already mid-morning when they woke up.
Eating coarse grain breakfast at Uncle's house, the sisters found a "feeling of home" instead, and Jiashu couldn't help but boast: "Uncle, Auntie's craftsmanship is really good, and the sweet potato and millet porridge is so fragrant!" Thank you, auntie uncle. ”
"Dad, mother, my brother only eats one meal at my house, and he has to say thank you, so how many 'thank you' should we say when we eat every day?" The second son asked curiously.
"Brother, you are the smartest, you should also thank you for eating at home, every meal is a hard-earned meal from your father and mother, it is not easy to come by, come to my brother to teach you a poem, and then, you go to teach other brothers: 'On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil.'" Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. ’”
"Anything else nice to say? This poem is so good, I won't waste food anymore in the future. The second son asked anxiously.
"Yes, let's teach you a few more words, help your parents to forget, parents help yourself to remember; If you don't have a family, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, and if you don't raise children, you don't know the kindness of your parents; There is an old man in the family, like a treasure; If the son forgets his father and mother, it is like a flower and a tree rotting roots. "Teach the child to understand the meaning.
The meal was getting cold, so Kaki had no choice but to say, "After eating, I'll teach you again." ”
The uncle cooked cooked water for the sisters, and Kashu became a teacher for the three children.

I was going to leave after breakfast, but it was already lunch time, and the uncle's family had already prepared a steamed Yellow River carp feast.
In the afternoon, the sisters took a lunch break for half an hour to test the children's recitation of these 20 ancient poems.
Only the second son memorized it correctly, and Jiashu praised: "This child will be the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty in the future, and it would be a pity not to study." ”
Before leaving, Jiashu left three taels of gold and asked his uncle to send his younger brothers to school, but his aunt and uncle were so excited that they didn't know what to say, and they were sent a mile away.
